I am about to plumb what is going to be my ray tank soon. Is about 6 times turn over with k1 reactor sufficient? There will also be a drip on this tank. thanks

I run two dct 6k, so I'm guessing somewhere around 2.5k as for flow, and I feel I need more flow for proper mech but this may be a limitation of my build as opposed to flow related. On a 300 gallon tank ~40 gal sump.

Whoa????

AAAAAAAARRRRGGG. WTF. Am I doing it wrong again? :(

Just got done setting up my pup tank - tank is 8' x 2' x 17" tall. Sump is 90 less then half full. Return pump is supposed to be 3800, and there's 3 AC 110s on it. Will probably add a large canister as well......

The 6x3x20"s both run a 3.6k gph return, 4x3x20s both run a 3K gph. 8x3 has a 3.6K gph and another 2K in mags.

I was even using big circulation pumps too, till all my Korilias died...... Was considering replacing them with something else to put a little current in there.
